My Poverty, Like My Asperger's, Is Not a Myth
I'm smart, shockingly so. "Human Encyclopedia" has been used to describe me quite a few times, several of those times it wasn't even me saying it. I also have Asperger's, and no I didn't self diagnose. Co-workers, friends and strangers with Asperger's kept suggesting it to me. I disagreed, but during one of my few moments of being insured I went to a psychologist and met with him bi-monthly for about six months. Near to the end of these meetings he told me he thought Asperger's was the right diagnosis for me. I asked if I could get that in writing, he told me no. He wanted to see me for a few more years to make really sure. I ran out of insurance soon after and have not been insured since. But at least I knew the medical community agreed with everyone else.
